2007 Yamaha YZF R1

I bought my 07 R1 as a demo bike with 600miles on it in march of 08 and I still love it. I have had it at 170mph many times and 180mph once with the bike still having more to give. Its light, powerful, and agile. The only problem, tires last aout 2,000 miles cuz its impossible to be responsible on ... this monster. I service her per the book and she's never left me stranded. 12,000 miles and still feels brand new. I hear a ton of complaints about the engine temp and the hard ride. The temp does shoot up to 227* pretty quickly on a hot day if you're not moving but never goes past that and the fans cool it back down pretty quickly. As for the ride, its a race bike, not a cruiser. If you do want it soft, everything is adjustable.

I have had many bikes in my years, but the R1 is by far the most balanced of all. Some modifications to increase the low end response,and the speed governor has limited its shear power output. It has the perfect power to weight ratio and cornering ability of a midsize bike. These superbikes can overpower ... even the most experienced riders however the R1 does it all well! You can get a Busa but the R1 will eat it up in the corners and having 400 cc's less and its midsize bike size gives it the best overall performance over most in and above its class. The only thing its missing is a set of wings to take off and they put the governors on them to keep them from hitting 200 + MPH. At 166 it already wants to defy gravity and take off. I look forward to enjoying many years of its superior designa and integrity. God Bless and ride safe.

jw/ how much h/p a 07R1 has ? and has anyone ever used exhaust wrap if soo anytips

this is my second R1 the only desapointament with this bike is the heat in the summer gets way too hot ,but to be honest this bike worth every cent....a lots of power,very confortable ....the best to ride in the winter you don't even need a jacket..........

This Bike is an awesome screamer!! granted a lot of people do not like the absence of low end, with a top end like the r1, the problem can be bypassed

I love my r1. I have had no problems with the bike at all.I now have 11k miles and the bike still is as awesome as new.

hello, i have bought R1 new in May 07 and did some affter market modifications on it, it is fantastic but there is points made me sold it and went to other bike.

1st the temp is getting very high even after removing the heating valve with controll the water flow, Yama desgniers have increased ... the radiator by 10% and installed another fan but still going high

2nd the riding confort i don't know why i fell it is too hard

3rd for the accessories and spare parts the Yamaha is the most expensive for the Japanees moteros brand

these three points are the major but there is good points also

1st acceleration is very good and sensetive

2nd light is clear i think its four bulbs make you understand

3rd sexy looking bike and sound when changing the OEM muflers
